Batista claims signing with Strikeforce

Thoughts?

 

41 professional wrestler aka actor going mma ? Who cares. Lesnar was young was a powerhouse and had legit wrestling credentials. This guy has nothing. I'm not gonna badmouth him I applaud him for showing balls and trying his hand at this but it's not really worthy of a thread.

 

I doubt it'll happen. Batista may try his hand at MMA, but I just can't see any legit organization letting him fight for them, at least until he gets some experience and wins under his belt.

But much like Pudz, Canseco, soon to be Toney and the rest of the bandwagon jumpers who are trying to be a latch on to MMA's rising star, he'll quickly find he is overmatched and underskilled.

So much for that....

:boohoo:I didn't realize Toney fought yet. That Ray Mercer was sure overmatched against 2x UFC champ Tim Sylvia.

 

He said soon to be Toney.

And Ray Mercer lost to KIMBO. ::

 

I could totally see SF making a match between Batista and Walker. It would really suck to watch, but would be easy to market and sell for SF. Give the winner to Bobby Lashley.

 

It might sell, but it would kill Strike Force of any legitimacy. It would be the equivalent of Screech fighting Horseshack, or whatever those Celebrity Boxing matches were.

If Strike Force wants to be taken seriously, they should avoid the freak shows.

U Mean like Placing Internet "Fighters" on TUF???...


REED:mj:

 

I almost threw out my classic... what's the matter with you, Joe?

 

I agree, I think SF is trying to become too big too fast right now. They are going away from what made them relative in the first place.

 

Somewhat, but the UFC is clearly in a better position to do something like bring in Kimbo or Toney, as they are already looked at as legit. Strike Force is still fighting for legitimacy, and having a Herschel Walker vs Batista fight will not help that fight.

Although I wouldn't be shocked in they brought in Kimbo down the line...that is if Kimbo still thinks he can be an MMA fighter.

The FACT is, Kimbo Slice was a FREAKSHOW "Fighter", Godfather...The UFC TRIES to Hold Itself to a Higher Standard (& Sure, the Level of Talent DWARFS Any Other MMA Organizations), but let's NOT Pretend that they're Somehow "Tooooo PROUD" to Milk a FREAKSHOW Act Themselves....

They ALREADY have...


REED:mj:

 

As Looooooooong as Bastista vs. Walker/Canseco, etc. Isn't HEADLINING a Strike Force Show, REED Doesn't See the Big Deal...EVERY Combative Sport has it's Fair Share of "Freakshow" Participants....



REED:mj:

 

An Established FREAKSHOW...





REED:hammert:

 

Did Toney fight yet? No, so anything is speculation.

Did Mercer KTFO Sylvia?? YES.

So shut your shithole.

 

Like I said to steve, shut your shithole. Mercer KTFO Sylvia in 10 seconds, that's undisputable.

 

Did Mercer fight Kimbo?


TFK

 

Yeah, and he lost, so what? Did he beat Sylvia? Yes.

 

So what?


TFK

 

So boxers are as legitimate as any other "combatant".

 

Wait a Minute...

Mercer has a 10 Second Win Over a Former UFC Heayweight Champion???...



REED:dunno:

 

Which isn't very.

If you have 10 seconds of free time, watch this:

So you are finally admitting that MMA isn't legit?:mj:

 

Man you are really digging yourself into a hole. You really have shown your stupidity today.

 

By posting a fight that actually happened and isn't the speculation of some UFC fanboys on a fuckin messageboard?::
